Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi, acclaimed for his performance in the Netflix original “Kho Gaye Hum Kahan,” shared insights into his journey in Bollywood, highlighting the invaluable support he received from senior actors during challenging times.
Siddhant expressed gratitude towards Ranbir Kapoor for his heartfelt advice and reminisced about the wisdom imparted by Ayushmann Khurrana.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Siddhant emphasized his focus on professional rather than personal expectations within the industry. He acknowledged the encouragement received during successful endeavors, contrasting it with instances when the industry remained distant during downturns. He also disclosed Ayushmann Khurrana’s counsel, urging him to persevere amidst obstacles.
The actor also acknowledged the significant assistance provided by Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor, recalling Ranbir’s comparison of his film “Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year” to his own “Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.”
Detailing his interaction with Ranbir, Siddhant shared, “Ranbir engaged in a meaningful conversation during our casual meeting; he’s not one for parties. When I expressed uncertainties, he advised, ‘Keep working, don’t be bothered by others’ activities.’ That’s his approach—he’s everywhere yet nowhere. Ranbir and Alia were the only ones who sent me extensive messages after ‘Gehraiyaan.'”
Reflecting on his expectations for “Kho Gaye Hum Kahan,” Siddhant recalled Ranbir’s words: “‘When you least expect it, the film will work.’ Initially modest in his expectations, Siddhant aimed the film towards a specific audience, surprised by its broader appeal.
“Kho Gaye Hum Kahan” also features Ananya Panday and Adarsh Gourav. Siddhant gained prominence as MC Sher in “Gully Boy.” Despite the mixed reception of “Bunty Aur Babli 2,” his roles in “Gehraiyaan” and “Phone Bhoot” earned critical acclaim.
